So I just discovered that Scribd is a thing that exists! It's just like Netflix, in where you pay a small monthly fee and then get unlimited books to read.

Does anyone use Scribd or service similar to it for their book reading needs?

I am only recently starting to warm up to the idea of purchasing ebooks. >> Despite growing up right in the middle of this super cool digital content age, I always wanted the item I purchased to be a tangible thing I can hold. But with a home and the amount I like to read, I kinda don't have room to store that many books. O___O Having a library with walls and walls of books is a dream for a richer person with a bigger house!

My public library lets us rent e-books so I'm not too sure about this new feature. It makes me wonder if it will be like waiting for books at the library or movies at Redbox - will the new releases be gone before I get there? Will I have to wait for an ungodly amount of people to finish with the book before I get to read it?

But yes I use my public library's e-service system. I do not have a tablet or anything that I can take to the bed with me and my laptop is a little clunky. =/ Sooo it results in me having a bad back when I'm reading e-books. I'm still tempted to get a tablet though.

For ebooks, honestly, it's so much better to have a dedicated reader as opposed to a tablet. I have a perfectly good Nexus 7, but I still use a Kobo Mini for reading. It's so much lighter, the battery lasts for about 5 weeks, and I can read it in sunlight.

My Usual Online Time:

Afternoons, evenings and nights.

Writing Levels:

Intermediate, Adept, Advanced, Adaptable

Genders You Prefer Playing:

Male, Female

Playing Style- Passive or Aggressive:

Both. I usually start off a bit more passive while getting used to the world and my character(s), but once I feel like I know my character(s) well I usually feel very comfortable with becoming more aggressive.

I like it if both parties can do things for the plot and create new characters, both villains and heroes. If you are completely passive, we might not fit each other.

Favorite Genres:

Historical, fantasy, magic, horror, supernatural, survival, vampires, demons, pirates, mutants, ghosts, romance (FxF, MxM, MxF) (Romance should be part of the plot and not the whole plot in itself), etc.

Genre You DON'T Like:

Scifi. Mecha. Combat. Overly action oriented stuff. Overly ecchi or sexual (Characters can have sex, but fade to black is a must.). Slice of life (I need something to spice up the rp, like supernatural stuff or a fantasy/historical setting. Otherwise it gets boring real quickly.)

I can't read books on my computer. If I read a text on my computer for too long, then I get a headache, and I like to read books for hours without putting them down. So e-books is not for me since I would need to take a break too often to rest my eyes. Plus, it feels so much better to hold the book in your hands and turn the pages and just feel the book :3 ... ... Now I'm feeling old o.O
